Match-the-Pairs Game (Parts of Speech)

Do you know the different parts of speech?

Below are two games to test your knowledge of the parts of speech. These two games test whether you can place a list of random words into the following categories:

• Adjective (e.g., red, happy, enormous). An adjective is a describing word. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.
• Adverb (e.g., happily, loosely, often). An adverb modifies a verb. (Sometimes adverbs modify adjectives or other adverbs).
• Conjunction (e.g., and, or, but). A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses.
• Determiner (e.g., my, those, two, many). A determiner specifies a noun or a pronoun or states quantity.
• Interjection (e.g., ouch, oops, eek). An interjection expresses emotion.
• Noun (e.g., dog, town, apple). A noun names a person, place, or thing.
• Preposition (e.g., in, near, on, with). A preposition shows the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other words in a sentence.
• Pronoun (e.g., she, we, they). A pronoun replaces a noun (or a noun phrase).
• Verb (work, be, write, exist). A verb identifies an action or state of being.
